The Age Of Charming Women

From being passee at twenty TO be-
ing charming at thirty tells in itself the
whole tale of womans growth in the
past century. That peculiar comblna-
ton Of angel and idiot which was the
ideal woman was unthinkable except in
the teens. Idiocy cannot be angelic af.
ter the first score of years. The rose
bud is delightful, and everybody loves
it, but there is not woman left who
would care to be always eighteen. Up
to thirty-five woman is not now at
all abashed at owning her age. She
knows she has but gained in charm:
she knows that tho man who fought
shy of asking her out to dinner during
her first season, and who was mute
and bored during the whole time that
he sat by her side, will seek her out In
company now, and will recognize her
added experience and maturity by Civ
ing her credit for common sense In the
talk that he begins with her. She
knows that where her crudeness used
to drive off people worth knowing. she
can, at her will, oall them about her
now.

Many various methods are recon-
mended for preserving eggs. yet very
few manage to keep them In large
numbers. Limited supplies are stored
away for family use, and othors are
kept in cool storage, at the great COM
merclal centers but the business OF pre-
serving them for the market has never
become general. There ars many OBJ
stacles to success, which are not always
considered. First only fresh eggs are
suitable, yet it Is hard to secure them
unmixed with older ones. A single
stale egg may cause the loss Of all the
same package. Second, eggs from
hens which run by themselves will keep
much longer than those from hens
which are kept in company with
males. A fortified egg will keep only
one-third as long as one which 10 ster-
lie. This should be kept in view, and
the males separated from the hens at
least ten days before beginning to save
eggs for storage. An egg which is un-
fortified when placed in an incubator.
and kept at temperature of one hun
dred and three degrees, will remain
unchanged and fit for the table at the
end OF two weeks, while fertilzed egg.

Care I'm Feeding Ho rses.

The study of the subject of food ele-
ments, and their relation to the animal
system has been greatly neglected. OF
late years science has been doing much
in this line of work, but there is great
deal to be done yet. Although
the animal body is complex In
structure, yet chemistry has dvid-
ed it in a general way into nitro
genous, non-ntrogenous. and mineral
matters. Since these substances are
continually beng destroyed in the body
in forming materials for growth. In
generating heat, and in producing
force, it is necessary that the animal
should receive substances similar to
those destroyed, so that these may be
assimilated by the tissues and fluids
of the body to replace those lost and
TO enable the vital actions TO con-
tinue.
Relatively 10 size. the horse has n
smaller stomach than any other Of
our domestic animals. This makes
it necessary that he must feed
frequently, digest promptly, and
have rich materials in small
bulk, thus adapting him es-
pecially to perform rapid work. In
state of nature he Is under
no necessity of eating too much
at any one time, but replen-
ishes the stomach lightly and at
frequent interval throughout the day
There is no overlooking, nor overtask-
ing the organ, and no extreme exertion
upon full stomach, which so often
takes place in the domesticated condi-
ton. Even in demonstration, q horse
will maintain excellent health on
natural grasses, fresh or made into
hay; but when he is placed under the
saddle or in harness, and subjected to
work, we take him from his natural
state, and the same feeding will not
longer meet the demands Of the sys-

Alknli Lands OF the south west.

On the desert plains of the West and
the Southwest are large white patches
of land, commonly known as alkal
soil. The popularity is caused by the
presence of carbonate Of soda Even
in the irrigated valleys much of this
substance is found. and in places it is
impossible to raise crops on account of
its excess.
On the desert plateau, where agri-
culture is impossible the presence of
the alkali is of no economical disad-
vantage, but in the fertile valleys it is a
source of much trouble TO the agricul-
turists. BY the natural processes of
evaporation at the surface and capilla-
ry rise from below, these salts, which
are present in variable quantities in
nearly all the soils of the Southwest
tend 10 accumulate near the surface,
and form the efilorescence. which gives
the appearance above noted. Such a
soil, aside from the destructive effects
Of the alkali. cannot be used for crops,
because even the most thorough cult
walton only results in breaking the soil
up into hard Jumps. Each irrigation
softens ii, but as soon as the sun has
commenced to dry the surface it be-
comes hard and cloddy
A system of drainage must therefore
be established, and in this way the
land can. doubtless, be made of great
value, for it is naturally rich The
broadcast culture of cereals is the worst
possible crop for an alkaline soil.
They are readily killed, do not admit of
cultivation, and give little protection to
the soil against evaporation. Deep root
ing crops which shade the ground are
especially well fitted for such soil. Al
falia, very profitable crop in the
Southwest, takes readily to alkaline
soils, if the salts are not too abundant.
All fruits, especially the sweeter kinds,
are found to flourish in slightly aka
line ground. Possibly sugar-cane and
sorghum will find the soil adapted TO
theI demands.

When to Pick Fruit,

When fruits are mature, they make
preparation for falling. just as mature
leaves do. \ distinct line is formed
upon the stem of the fruit, in prepara-
ton for the separation. When the ap-
pie or pear is mature, il will separate
from the tree without any pulling; mere
lifting the fruit from its hanging posi-
tion to horizontal one, will cause the
separation from the tree to take place
at once. A little observation will
teach when the fruit Is ready to be
gathered. At this time. the fruit hav-
ing made its growth, derives nothing
more from the tree. After the fruit is
full grown. its next step is towards de-
cay. Decay in early kinds comes in n
few days or weeks. In the late sorts
il requires several months, but wheth-
er early or late, there is a stage in this
progress from maturity to decay, when
the fruit best suits our purpose and we
say, that Is ripe" or mellow" or
sin eating" This time in early kinds
comes very quickly, and other varie-
ties do not assume 1t before spring.
Early kinds come Unto eating cond-
